Ulthera treatments should be safe, as the thyroid is much deeper than the level at which Ulthera penetrates your skin. The ultrasound heat that is delivered with Ultherapy is designed to target specific layers of the fascia and dermis of the skin. However, it is important that you tell your physician about your thyroid nodules before undergoing any Ulthera treatments to ensure you are still a candidate.
Hi, The area of the thyroid is not treated with the Ulthera delivery system. The areas of the neck above this are treated but you should be safe with the thyroid region as this areas is avoided. Be sure to check with your doctors before Ultherapy as you want to make sure that your thyroid doctor and your plastic surgeon are in full agreement with your case treatment. Steven M.
